Yanshi Codex 008

Long Wei couldn't tell whether she wanted to drink or talk, but she knew very well that there was something very warm that touched the softest part of her heart these days, and that thing was called: homesickness.

"It's just noon, do you really want to drink?" Li Bai couldn't help but confirm with Long Wei again, seeing Long Wei nodding, he immediately ran into the wine cellar, and brought a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses in the blink of an eye.

Li Bai opened the bottle of elixir that had been brewed for a long time, and the dark purple liquid that was almost inky black was slowly poured into the crystal clear wine glass, like a candle flame in a dream, telling a story of time, mixed with sweet and sad memories.

Long Wei gently shook the wine glass, the aroma slowly drifted away, the aroma of the wine was beautiful, unlike the smell of the trap she smelled in the past few days, it was cold and terrifying, so before going to investigate the unsolved case in the thorns, she had a story that she had to tell to Li Bai:

"Once upon a time, there was a wise king who ruled over the great city of Vellani. The king's majesty was awe-inspiring, and his wisdom made him beloved. In the heart of the city of Véranny, there was a well with a sweet and clear water, from which all the inhabitants of the city, even the king and his ministers, drew water from it, as it was the only well in the city.

"One night, when all the earth was asleep, a witch sneaked into the city, dropped seven drops of liquid in the well, and then cast a curse: 'From now on, whoever drinks the water of this well will go mad.'" The next morning all the inhabitants, except the king and the chief attendant, drank the water from the well, and as the witch had cursed, they all became madmen. After that day, in the narrow streets and in the market, people were whispering, 'The king is crazy, our king and the chief attendant have lost their minds, we cannot let a mad king rule the country, we must depose him.' That night, the king ordered a golden cup of water to be brought from the well. As soon as the water was brought to him, the king took a sip and gave the rest of the water to the chief attendant. After daybreak, the whole city of Vellane rejoiced, for their king and chief attendant came to their senses again. ”

This story is not the first time Li Bai has heard it, but he can't grasp the deep meaning of the dragon.

After telling this story, Long Wei saw that Li Bai was confused, so he picked up his wine glass alone and sniffed deeply, and his front was filled with smoky incense, as well as the aroma of blackberries, cherries, licorice, truffles and bushes.

"It's a pity, everyone is crazy now. Li Bai was a little sad, "Why did Long Zhiyuan suddenly tell me this story?"

For so many years, as a deacon of the Deacon's Mansion, Li Bai has been accustomed to life and death, but for life, for the Deacon's Mansion and even Ruohe City and the Great Wall of Courage, there are countless mysteries in his heart, all of which have a common characteristic, they have no answers, and he can't find a clue even if he exhausts his energy and exhausts his energy.

But Bai Fujun Chaoguang, Xun Huaixu, Long Wei and several other people in the deacon committee, they all have secrets that people can't get close to, Li Bai intuitively told him that Long Wei was not only upset by the "unsolved case" she was about to face at this time, but also the secrets she had carried on her body for many years.

Long Wei took a sip of wine and asked Li Bai leisurely: "If this well is next to us, and everyone around us drinks the water from the well, will you drink it?"

"Have you drunk Ryuzhiin?" Li Bai asked curiously.

"Maybe I'll have to drink the water from this well sooner or later. "Long Wei is obviously unwilling.

"Everyone is drunk and I am sober, I don't think I will drink this well water!" After Li Bai finished speaking, he tilted his neck and drank the red wine in the cup.

"Then what if your Qingjue also drank it?" asked Long Xuan as he broke the casserole.
